They want 2 firsts plus something else. Vikings offered one 1st.S197 wrote: I don't think you can burglarize your own home. And maybe they were asking for a 1st for McCarron but there's no way the Vikings would pay that much. I will be livid if they do.

I don't find Bridgewater irreplaceable at all, let alone enough to think the Vikes should just mail it in.germannorseman wrote:One thing we don't want is a washed up has been.

Re: Options at QB
They wont mail it in, Zimmer would not allow it. He will fight until he can't. But it will be tough to beat the elite teams in the NFL. The best I see is wild card road game.Jordysghost wrote: I don't find Bridgewater irreplaceable at all, let alone enough to think the Vikes should just mail it in.

Re: Options at QB
Imo, all it takes is the right move at QB and assuming he can pick up the offense fairly quick, you may be barely any worse off, for example, I think McCarron is on just about the same level as Bridgewater if not a little better, so obviously im not ready to write the Vikings off if they trade for him (That is just one possibility, but I think you get my point)PurpleHalo wrote: They wont mail it in, Zimmer would not allow it.

Re: Options at QB
Sources tell @caplannfl the #Vikings talked to the #Eagles this week about Sam Bradford, but the Eagles aren't looking to move him.

Re: Options at QB
Please no.
Eagles have gotten significant compensation for QB Sam Bradford - don't be surprised if it's a 1st-round pick.

It's a first round pick and an additional pick in 2018.
I went ahead and started a Bradford thread. After all, it looks like he'll be the Vikings new QB once he gets up to speed.
